4. BAUHAUS
1919-1933
Art/ Industry
• Gropius himself said,"The
Bauhaus does not pretend to
be a crafts school; contact
with industry is consciously
sought...the old craft
workshops will develop into
industrial laboratories: from
their experimentation will
evolve standards for
industrial production...The
teaching of a craft is meant to
prepare for designing for
mass production. Starting
with the simplest tools and
least complicated jobs, he
gradually acquires ability to
master more intricate
problem and to work with
machinery, while at the same
time he keeps in touch with
the entire process of
production from start to
finish."

6. Andy
Goldsworthy
“I enjoy the freedom of just using my hands
and “found” tools–a sharp stone, the quill of a
feather, thorns. I take the opportunities each
day offers: if it is snowing, I work with snow, at
leaf-fall it will be with leaves; a blown-over tree
becomes a source of twigs and branches. I stop
at a place or pick up a material because I feel
that there is something to be discovered. Here
is where I can learn.”

7. As a woman in a patriarchal
society, as an Arab citizen in a Jewish Maiada Aboud
country ….in my videos there are
always some forms of resistance to Art/Feminism/Politics
the sexual and social roles played by
me as a woman, the roles that I have
had to follow through all of my life as a
way of transcending the “unkindness”
of the real circumstances. Many
reasons brought me to deal with the
issues of gender and sexuality
especially within the female
body, viewed as a taboo in the Arab
world, so that I could accomplish the
things that are forbidden in my
family, society, and religion. I have
used my body as an actual material to
reflect the social and the emotional
conflict, trying to break down
barriers between art and life. I have
tried to create self portraits by
breaking and representing my identity
in order to make the viewer aware of
the structure of seeing and
exploring my experience in life, giving
him a chance to have a look at my
personal world and my own nature.

10. WAR ART
War art, or the visualization of suffering in conflict Harvey Thomas Dunn ‘the tanks at Seicheprey
has always been a powerful means of mobilizing
public opinion and action against violence. It is
most successfully used in humanitarian crises or

us to take action, either in the form of donations or
political pressure to intervene.

17. Conceptual clothing by Jenni Dutton
'Filleted Mermaid' made from
thin wire, fabric and
wax, decorated with broken
glass.
I have always been fascinated
with the legend of the
mermaid. There is something
about the combining of the
female and fish forms that has
a powerful and sexual image.
She is at once helpless and yet
alluring but this hybrid
creature, like all creatures of
the deep stands for the
unconscious, and in particular
for the anima, the femine
aspect within the psyche.
